In markets nowadays, water colour is sold in many forms either paste, pastel or liquid. All these forms need water mixture before colouring. The water colour needs a palette and brushes to be mixed. Non -spillable water colour container is an invention from recycled liquid shoe polish which are easily available in the market. As we were discussing problems faced by Art teachers when conducting lessons using water colour in the class, we came up with this idea which is created from used plastic containers. The factors that contribute to the spillage of water colour among students are too much water added in the water colour and technique of using brush. This container is recycled as this project is aiming in reducing plastic waste in Malaysia. The colour for the container is made by using natural pigmentations colours from vegetables and fruits peels such as the dragon fruit, beetroot, and purple cabbage. Colours from the liquids are refilled in the container and it can be used multiple times.
